Not Coping

I don't know how to say it

I am about to cry I honestly don't know

Everything feels too much the thoughts voices everything it's too much (safe)

That's okay. I'm sorry you feel like crying. I'm here for you okay @bartart23

thank you @Birdofparadise8 sorry late reply i wasn't well hope your okay

All good, that's okay @bartart23

Are you okay now? I hope you're safe.

I am fine 🫠 just cried my eyes out now talking to the voices I have no friends because everyone left me because I said no to sex and a relationship

The voices are my friends

We can find friends in the most unlikely of places eh @bartart23. I'm sorry to hear that today has been rough on you and that you feel so alone. We're here for ya though 😊

Who's here for me @Jynx nobody I could of just kept my mouth shut everyone picks on me is it because I have mental health issues or something I'm not good enough?

I am sick of everyone sending my stupid check in I'm out enjoy your day ❤️

No one here is trying to pick on you @bartart23 - you mentioned you were having a rough time so I wanted to show a bit of support. When I say we're here for you, I mean myself, the forums team, and all the others in this community who want to connect with you.

Firstly I don't friends here @Jynx I don't even know anyone here I am sick of everyone always saying I am talking about harm or suicide which I don't when I get a stupid check in email I wish everyone would stop asking or assuming it's suicide or harm

I am just angry and upset that everyone only thinks that If I were to say anything I would ask to sent a email to you or Tyme or a peer worker or whoever is on

I don't need people up my ass about it everyday

Yes I am hearing voices yes I am done with everything I am fed up doesn't mean it's suicidal thoughts 💔

@bartart23 well... perhaps they folks here could become your friends in the future. I've seen many lovely friendships blossom here over the years; that's what it's all about - connection!

As for the emails, part of our Duty of Care revolves around taking the time to check in with members in high distress to determine if they've reached a state of crisis, and whether they need some extra support.

The reason the team may sometimes make the assumption that someone is referring to suicide or self-harm, is because we can't always be sure what someone truly means, so we always take the time to double check. Sometimes, folks might say things that are ambiguous or difficult to interpret, so we must err on the side of caution and assume that they could be talking about suicide. For example, if someone wrote, "I'm just so sick of it all", we'd likely send them a check in email to see if they're safe for now, or if they might need some extra support to contact a crisis service.

So please know that it's something we do for all members, and it's part of our Duty of Care obligations and our Community Guidelines.
